There is an apt proxy, in fact. This is a regression; the old script before the change simply fetched the files directly.
We set the proxy with Acquire::http::Proxy "http://internal-hostname:PORT/"; (where "internal-hostname" is a hostname, and "PORT" is a decimal for the correct port on which the proxy runs. If I remove the proxy specification, it works fine. I think this is a bad way to go; the Apt proxy specifies specifically where apt looks, and should not be specifying where downloads in general happen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979477 Title: ttf-mscorefonts-installer installation popup and probable failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/979477/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
